<p>Japanese officials traced the fire to static electricity and oxygen propellant, and corrected the problem.</p>
<p>The four-ton shipment should arrive at the space station on Saturday.</p>

<p>Spacewalking astronauts will install the six new lithium-ion batteries later this year, replacing old-style batteries. The cargo ship is named Kounotori, Japanese for white stork.</p>
<p>The Japanese Space Agency is one of several organisations making periodic station deliveries. Russia sends up supplies, as do SpaceX and Northrop Grumman on NASA’s behalf.</p>
<p>Russia, meanwhile, plans to launch three astronauts to the space station Wednesday, including the first person from the United Arab Emirates bound for orbit.</p>
